The provision is good

The childminder and her assistant have a kind and caring approach. They encourage children to lead their own play and they interact purposefully with them during activities. Children are creative and use their imaginations well. For example, they are excited as they make bird feeders. Children use peanut butter, cones and bird seed and then use the trucks and diggers to move the seed into pots. Children giggle together as they fill the tubs and watch the seeds fall into the tubs. The childminder and her assistant closely monitor and track children's individual progress well. This enables them to highlight any gaps in their development promptly and provide children with good support to help close these. Children independently go from room to room in the well-resourced home and choose activities. For example, younger children complete jigsaws on their own confidently and receive lots of positive praise from the childminder. The

need to do better?

n Children are enthusiastic learners who are motivated by the childminder and her assistant. They confidently explore the good selection of available toys and activities and make informed choices from a very early age. For example, children enjoy doing free painting, choosing the colours they want to use. n The childminder and her assistant have formed good relationships with the children. Children respond well to them and the interesting activities they provide. For example, they love to make a line with the cars then put them into the garage and begin to count them. However, at times, there are missed opportunities to extend children's counting and encourage this during some other activities. n The childminder reviews her provision to improve. She meets regularly with her assistant; they share up-to-date information on early years issues and new ideas that will develop their childminding. The childminder also seeks the views of

The childminder and her assistant support each child to develop an awareness of managing their own behaviour. Children learn to take turns with toys and resources. They learn to behave appropriately and are extremely well mannered. n The childminder knows the children well. Together with her assistant, she makes regular observations and assessments of children's learning and monitors their progress rigorously. She identifies children who may need additional support and works closely with parents to help them catch up. n The childminder collects detailed information about children's routines and what they can already do when they start. She uses this information to target planning and teaching when children first start and offers flexible settling-in times. Children who receive funding benefit from the good knowledge the
